Read More	wife: Martha Lena (Peron) ---- Info below provided by: Cindy Walcott ALEXANDER: Wayne Henry, 74, died May 15, 2001, at his home in Glover surrounded by all his family after living with cancer for over a decade. He was born May 20, 1926, and raised on a farm in Glover, the third of six children of Joseph W. and Mary (Stone) Alexander. His grandparents were Edwin L. and Francena (Aldrich) Alexander and Henry E. and Blanche (Hyde) Stone, all of Glover. He attended Glover Village School, Barton Academy, and Coyne Electrical in Chicago. He worked during high school (the war years) at Urie's Garage, later at Webster Motors, and then at the Corner Garage in St. Johnsbury. On July 21, 1951, at Saint Aloysius Church in St. Johnsbury, Wayne married Martha Lena Perron, also of Glover, the daughter of Ernest J. and Maria L. (Gagnon) Perron. At that time they moved to Chittenden County, where he was employed by General Electric Co. as an instrumentationalist for 36 years, and lived in Jericho for 34 years. It was here that their family was born and raised. He is survived by his wife Martha and their 11 children, Joan Francena of Glover; Edwin Elijah Alexander and wife Susan (Turcotte) and their boys Tyler and Matthew, of Richmond; Lisa Maria and husband Dan Rothman and their girls Sara, Emily and Anna, of New Boston, N.H.; Cedric Ernest Alexander and wife Susan (Slocum) and children Calvin and Lillian, of Cabot; Laura Mary and husband the Rev. Terrence McGillicuddy and their children, Caitrin, Conor, and Maura, of Plymouth, Mass.; Martha "A" Alexander and husband Chris Graves and their children Eliza, Addison and Alexandra, of Richmond; Mary "B" (fraternal twin of Martha) and husband Danny Peet and children Jesse and Rachel Haven and Jacob Peet, of Richmond; Paul George Alexander and wife Lesley (Chandler) and daughters Chelsea and Lauren of Waterbury Center; Peter Mark Alexander (identical twin of Paul) and wife Jeanne (Allendorf) and daughters Catherine and Elizabeth of Derby; Wesley Wayne Alexander and wife Darlene Oxton of Glover; and Julie Louise Alexander of Washington, D.C. He is also survived by his three sisters, Eleanor (Alexander) Jacobson and her husband Richard of South Burlington, Elaine (Alexander) Urie and her husband Bernard of West Glover, and Rebecca (Alexander) Munson of Colchester. In addition, he leaves two sisters-in-law, Pearl (Whalen) Alexander of Cabot and Lorraine (McClary) Alexander of Vernon; and 19 nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, and his two brothers, Joseph Warren and Richard Edwin. Warren was especially pleased and proud of his wife, children, and grandchildren; they enjoyed many happy family gatherings. He was a selectman in Jericho for 12 years, Mt. Mansfield Union School director for 15 years, and served many years as justice of the peace. In 1989, after retirement, they sold "Steeplebush Hill" in Jericho and built "Elijah's Place" in Glover, where he continued with his many special interests, some of which were hunting, fishing, gardening, wildlife, forestry, photography, music, electronics, machinery, computers, cellar holes, Vermont and local history, and, as you may have surmised by now, genealogy! He wrote and published two family genealogies and belonged to many state and local historical and genealogical societies. As a true "graveyard aficionado" and active member of the Vermont Old Cemetery Association he inspected many of the cemeteries in Vermont, published the VOCA-NEWS for a few years, and helped a little with "Burial Grounds of Vermont." You see I was a "small potato who didn't amount to much," but I wrote my own obituary! * * * * * Wayne wrote this obituary in 1990 when he was first diagnosed with prostate cancer. In the years since, he accomplished much and enjoyed life, handling each new challenge of his illness with remarkable grace and spirit. This month, he was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Vermont Historical Society, recognizing his achievements in documenting local history. As president of the Glover Historical Society for the last six years, he researched and compiled several publications, including "Runaway Pond: The Complete Story," and he spearheaded the relocation of the Runaway Pond monument as well as the creation of Runaway Pond Park in Glover. Of all his accomplishments, none was more meaningful or dear to him than helping his sons and grandsons build a new deer camp in Wheelock last year. It replaced the family deer camp he had always hunted from, built by his own father in 1921. His wit, curiosity, wisdom, caring and enthusiasm will long be remembered. He will be missed. . . "
